Trabzonspor site crashes after t-shirt of player that sent off referee goes on sale

The official Trabzonspor and club store website crashed today under a deluge of traffic generated from fans wanting to get hold of the official Salih Dursun t-shirt.

Trabzonspor midfielder Salih Dursun hit the headlines when he sent off referee Deniz Bitnel during the 2-1 defeat against Galatasaray – only to get sent off himself for the incident.

Trabzonspor have responded by releasing a range of t-shirt’s depicting the now infamous incident and revealed that all profits earned from sales will be sent to help improve referee training.

Even Dursun himself was not expected such widespread support as he became an overnight hero with several top-tier clubs even coming out and openly praising his actions

Dursun was heralded as a public hero with fan groups across the country offering their support.

Bursaspor came out in support of Dursun and went as far to declare him a heroic outlaw describing him as standing up for Anatolian football against the perceived injustice of referees against them – in with the more successful Istanbul sides.
